GEORGE W. BEADLE, OF BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO SINGLE SERVICEPACK- AGE CORPORATION OF AMERICA, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OFNEW JERSEY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

IPAPER-CARTON-MAKING MACHINE.'

Patented Sept. 29, 1914.

To all-wk om it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnoiicn \V. BEADLE, a citizen of the United States,,residing at Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper- CartonMaking Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to the manufacture of-tubes for paper cartons orvessels, and has for its object to produce a machine which will makesuch tubes from a strip of paper after cutting it into suitablelengths,-

wind said paper into form while gluing the parts together, print uponthe paper, so it will appear upon the tube in its proper position, anydesired legend, and one which will then close the end of the tube andperform other operations, as will appear hereinafter.

Herctofore the various steps required to make paper cartons have beenperformed on several separate and distinct machines, such for example,as a gluing machine for applying an adhesive to the paper strips, a tubewinder for winding thestrips into tubes, a tube cutter for cutting'thetubes in proper lengths, a bottom forming machine for making the endclosures of the tube, and a spinning machine for securing said closuresto the tube. But, by this invention the cost of these various operationsis greatly lessened, and the mechanism is preferably substantially ofthe shape and construction shown in the accompanying drawings.

The mechanism for placing end closures in the tubes after they are madeis not specifically claimed herein, since it forms the subject of mydivisional application filed on the 24th day of January, 1912, No.673,084, but-it will be understood that the machine constituting thesubject matter of said divisional case is operated from the same sourceof power as is this machine. Further the mechanism. claimed in thisapplication including the revolving expansible mandrels and theircoacting parts is especially designed for finishing the tubes, pre-'scnting them in the proper positions and firmly holding them in saidpositions while the mechanism claimed in said divisional applicationinserts end closures in the tubes thus presented and held, and thencrimps the same securely'in said tubes. After the of the right handside'of the machine; Fig.

2 is a side elevational view of the left hand side of the machine; Fig.3 is a front elevational view; Fig. 4: is a plan View of the cartonforming end of the machine; Fig. 5 is a plan View of the printinmechanism; Fig. 6 is an en arged detail front view of the bottom formingand spinning mechanism ;-Fig. 7 is an enlarged horizontal sectional viewof the forming punch tional view taken on the line 88 of Fig. 7 andshowin the bottom punched, formed, and inserte in the carton ready forspinning; Fig. 9 is a side elevational view of and cutting and die, andthe paper feed; Fig. 8 1s a secrne end of the machine showing theprintiug and cutting mechanism with the side frame removed for the sakeof clearness; Fig. 10 is an enlarged side elevational view similar to.Fig. 9 but showing the parts in their relative position during the actof' printing; Fig. 11 is a horizontal sectional view showing the typeframe and guides; Fig. 12 is a cross sectional view taken on the line12-42 of Fig. 11; Fig. 13 is a detail perspective view of the printingframe;

Fig. 14 is a detail perspective view of one of the type clamping slides;Fig. 15 isa side elevational view of the gluing and winding mechanismwith the side frame removed, and also showing the windin drive and amandrel in winding position; Fig. 16 is an end elevation of the partsshown in Fig. 15 looking from the left; Fig. 17 is a vertical crosssectional view taken on the line 17-17 of Fig. 15; Fig. 18 is ahorizontal cross sectional view taken on the line 18-18 of Fig. 15; Fig.19 is a detail perspective view of one of the pa er guiding fingers withits operating mec aroll nism; Fig. 20 is a detail perspective view ofthecarton ejecting mechanism and spinner driving cam; Fig. 21 is adetail view showing the carton being held by the safety latch in itsejected position; Fig. 22 is a detail.

' spinner; Fig. 24 is a horizontal cross sectional view of the partsshown in Fig. 23 with a carton and bottom inserted therein ready forspinning; Fig. 25 is an end'view of the mandrel, and winding andejecting sleeve. and showing the mandrel and forming plate removed; Fig.26 is a cross sectional view taken onthe line 2626 of Fig. 24; Fig. 27is a side elevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 28 is an endelevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 29 is a detail View ofthe spinner; Fig. '30 is a detail view of the mandreland forming plate;Fig. 31 is a detail plan view of the mandrel expanding and contractingcams; Fig. 32 is a side elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 31;Fig. 33 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3333 of Fig. 32;Fig. 34 is a diagrammatic view showing the working of the completemachine; Fig. 35 is a detail view showing a convolutely wound carton;Fig. 36 is a detail sectional view of a carton showing a bottom insertedtherein; Fig. 37 is a detail sectional view. of a carton showing afinished bottom formed thereon; and, Fig. 38 is a perspective view of afinished carton.

The general operation of this machine may be understood from thediagrammatic View shown in Fig. 34 in which paper from the roll 36 isfirst severed into suitable lengths to form a convolutely wound carton,While a suitable legend is printed by the means'47 on the paper beforeit is wound and in the right position for it to appear at the properplace on the outside of the finished article. The printed strips ofpaper are next su plied with glue and wound as at A into to es, whichare transferred to the point B, then, to position C, then to position D,where a suitable mechanism punches out and forms bottom closures fromthe paper carried by roll 155, and inserts these closures in the ends ofthe tubes. The tubes with the closures in place, are next transferred toposition E where the closures and tube are subjected to a spinningoperation to firmly fix the closures in thetube, and the finishedcartons are finally ejected from the machine at F. These variousmechanisms will now be described in detail, and their relations one withthe other will also be pointed. out.

I I Referring first to Fig.2, power may be supplied by any suitablemeans asby a belt to the pulley 8. mounted on the shaft 7, carrying thepinion 6, meshing with the gear 5, mounted on the shaft 4, carrying thepinion 3, meshing with the gear 2, carried by the main power shaft 1,which latter distributes powcr to the various parts of the machine. Theshaft 1 also carries the intermittent gear 9, meshing with theintermittent gear 10, mounted on the shaft 11, carrying the bevel gear12, meshing with the bevel gear 13, carried by the shaft 14, whichoperates the press for forming the bottom closures, as will appear morefully below.

On the end of the shaft 1 opposite to that carrying the gear 2, is thegear 15, see Fig. 3. This gear meshes with the gear 16, and through thesame operates a Geneva mechanism performing an operation and of aconstruction to be more fully described below, and said gear 16, throughthe shaft 17 operates a bevel gear 18, meshing with the bevel gear 19,carried by one end of the shaft 20. The shaft 20 shown in-Figs. 1 and 3extends the entire length of the machine, and has on its other end thebevel gear 21, meshing with the bevel gear 22 mounted on the shaft 23,which latter shaft distributes power to the printing, cutting and paperfeeding mechanism, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and now to be described.Mounted on said shaft 23 is the intermittent gear 24 meshing with theintermittent gear 25, mounted on the shaft 26, carrying the gear 27meshing with the idler gear 30, driving the gear 28 on the shaft 31 andmeshing with the gear 29 on the shaft 32. Carried by the shaft 31 is thepaper feed roll 33, and carried by the shaft 32 is the feed roll 34,Figs. 5-and 9, while paper from the roll 36, carried by the bracket 37,is forced by said rolls into position to be cut into suitable lengthsand to. have a suitable legend printed thereon by mechanism, as will nowappear. A screw tensioning means 35 for adjusting the feed roll 34 isprovided, as shown in said figures; while the mechanism for cutting thestrips of paper 36 into suitable lengths is operated by the intermittentgear 38, also mounted on the shaft 23, which drives the smallintermittent gear 39 mounted on the stud 40 which likewise carries thegear 41 meshing with the gear 42, mounted on'the outer end of shaft 43,see Figs. 1 and 5.

Carried on the inner end of the shaft 43 is a disk 44 which is providedwith a crank pin 45. This crank pin, Figs. 5, 9 and 10, through theconnecting rod 46 reciprocates the printing frame 47. The said printingframe 47 is preferably of the shape and construction shown in Figs. 9,10, 11, 12 and 13, and slides to and from the paper 36 between theguides 48, which are mounted on the cross frame 49 held to the sides ofthe machine.
